That track for the overbank looks so utterly unique and insane... does it kind of remind anyone else of

Crystal Beach Cyclone? Not that I'm one of those people that kind of obsesses over that ride but that's the first thing I thought of when I saw it.

I'm starting to think the lift will be up by the 31st with track work being completed by end of April. They still have to go through and pump the grout in all the track once they get it up. Testing should begin the 1st week of May or so IMO.

Glad to see we have a construction management expert here in the forums.

The closest thing I can compare the first turn to in terms of banking is Leviathan's first turnaround. It looks great, I can't wait to see the dive loop finished as well. Nice to see they can make so much construction progress in one day.

Seeing it in person is something else entirely... I took these pictures just this afternoon. You can pretty much see Goliath's overbank and even the tip of the dive loop as a part of the SFGAm skyline in the distance when approaching the park from any direction... when the lift goes up, it's going to be stunning.

From the behind employee lot fence.. my jaw was on the floor; the structure is massive...

Rails and track elements in the distance, no sign of trains onsite anywhere

Hard to see, but if you look between the two towers of V2, the angled line and large block structure is Goliath's overbank... again, this is going to be quite a nice addition to the skyline from this view.
